One benefit I see for the path module is that it makes it easier to write code that behaves correctly with unicode paths on Windows. Currently, to implement code that may see unicode paths, you must first understand that unicode paths may be an issue, then write conditional code that uses either a string or unicode string to hold paths whenever a new path is created.
Then maybe the code that handles Unicode paths in arguments should be fixed rather than adding a module that encapsulates a work-around...
